 Character Sketches for "The

House on Mango Street":

 

Character Sketch of Esperanza

 

 

Esperanza's family tree would be very diverse with branches reaching into Mexico, Puerto Rico, America, and heaven (or hell based on Esperanza's opinion).  It is her family that gives her such colorful and interesting stories.  Remember her Uncle Nacho and the saddle shoes at the dance?

Create your family tree using any of the styles illustrated on the wesites I have listed.  In addition to the tree, create a character chart for each family member, and include photographs whenever possible.  If you have never met the peson, then write N/A in their character box. 

You MUST do a character evaluation for atleast 5 people in your family.  Go back as far as possible in your family history.  Atleast 2 generations (please do more if possible). 

 Families are like trees, extremely diverse in their structure and appeal, embrace your families uniqueness.  Be sure to include interesting facts such as hobbies, athletic accomplishments, inventions, their native country, ability to speak a foreign language, etc.
